I've always wanted to go to Landstar until I learned they are strict about elogs. Here is my question, can I use my own elogs and lease to a truck company that is pretty good about giving me my freedom? My fleet managers over the years have to hold the hands of all of the other drivers but with me they all say I always get the job done so they don't even ask me questions anymore they say they know I always handle it.
I basically just want more freedom but still have a company handle the loads and paperwork. Basically like a company driver without a boss leaning on me. Is it possible?
Quick question without going to much into detail

That's scary man must be a sign. Right when I read your post I Googled Greatwide and I am actually parked a block away from them right now as I am waiting to get unloaded at a receiver. Same street and everything I could walk there and I wasn't aware of their location. What are the odds of that? Here's the proof of a Google map showing how close I am right now

fordconvert Thanks this. -

The carrier is responsible for keeping the logs for six months. I would think they would require you to use what ever system they have in place.

Are you up on the hill behind them?
I was doing their long haul runs, because that's what I like. They would set me up with something like a butter load or cream load out of Smyrna going somewhere such as Grand Prairie,TX or Publix somewhere in Florida, then pick up a backhaul; maybe orange juice or produce out of the Everglades. Sometimes to California then loads working my way back to Nashville. I really like that type of running. They also have home every day stuff, which I avoided.Last edited: Oct 25, 2016

Hey me too I like the long haul and to stay out for a long time. I am currently at associated grocers getting unloaded and then headed home to Smyrna.

If I wanted to be an 0/0, personally, I like Greatwide, Trailer Transit, A&R Logistics. -

Good deal! I am still saving up more money and recently the current company I drive for gave us a big raise since so many people were quitting so that may keep me there a while longer.
Chinatown Thanks this.
